Sixty-six Hermes handbags worth HK$10 million (US$1.3 million) have been stolen from a second-hand shop in a busy Hong Kong financial district, police have said.
The force said it received a report at 7.54am on Saturday that three robbers broke into the shop at New World Tower on Queen’s Road in Central, smashed the glass display cabinets and stole the luxury items.
Carrying three white bags, the trio were seen fleeing the scene in a seven-seater car, a police spokesman said.
He added that the 66 Hermes handbags, valued at about HK$10 million, were stolen in the break-in.

The Ginza Xiaoma shop, located on the tower’s 17th floor, is known as a “Hermes speciality store”.
“Our extensive experience dealing exclusively with Hermes handbags and accessories has established us as the top Hermes reseller in Asia,” the shop said on its website.
“Our collection boasts the region’s largest selection of rare and highly sought-after Hermes handbags, making us the ultimate destination for all things Hermes.”
It added that it had a team of appraisers and authenticators with experience between 10 and 30 years of dealing with the designer brand.
